A fruit native to Brazil. We call it "pizza hawaii" in the Netherlands and it's tasty. Ananas, ham and cheese, perfection I say, pizza puritan snobs be damned.
I’m not too sure if pineapples are native from the lands currently controlled by Brazil, Paraguay, or both. The Amerindians farmed them quite a bit, so they spread even to to a chunk of North America; and the native range of a relative hints me that the genus originated further west.
That’s just a guess though - the point is that nobody knows for sure.

</span><span style="color:#323232;">of one great tree made resting-place, and set

</span><span style="color:#323232;">(such was the will of Jove), and wilding fruits

</span><span style="color:#323232;">with tooth and nail audacious, and consumed

This is from a translation of the Aeneid, published in 19 BCE.
That’s why I mentioned pizza bianca / white pizza - it doesn’t include passata or tomato sauce, but it’s still pizza.
Cheese being added to the pizza is a bit trickier, but I’m tempted to say that the Romans already did this; they were big fans of cheese, and the white stuff in the afresco looks a lot like sheep cheese for me. And, well, cheese melting over hot bread is kind of obvious. Plus there are claims that mozzarella itself backtracks to those times, although it was originally made with sheep milk.
I could also picture them spreading some moretum (crushed cheese with herbs and olive oil, it’s rather tasty) over the dough. The white thing in the afresco is certainly not moretum as the later is green, but frankly that doesn’t sound too far from what I’ve seen people adding to pizza bianca.
In the states they never add Jalapenos because of all the WASPS who say things like “this food has too much flavor” so I thought I hated Hawaiian pizza, def will try with Jalapeno.
I have lived in several states and I feel like jalapenos are a very common pizza topping in all of them. I have mostly lived in areas with large Hispanic populations though.
In Greece, eating feta cheese with watermelon(or melon) is somewhat common. You combine the sweetness of the watermelon with the saltiness of feta. And both things are cold.
Here in the south, and maybe elsewhere, we sometimes add a nice hunk of extra sharp cheddar on top of our apple pie for the same reason. Heck, any number of fruit plates will be served with cheeses, and vice versa.
Once you get into the sweet, salt, fat, acid combo, it really doesn’t matter what you use to get them.
To quote a great American show, “pork chops and applesauce”. “Hawaiian” pizza is just a different version of the same basic idea
Whats even crazier is the ethnobotanical path to GET those ingredients together.
Tomatoes had to be brought from south america. Bred to grow at lower altitudes. Peasants had to be persuaded to eat them (they were formally animal feed because they were from the nightshade family and peasants didn't trust the fruit not to be poisonous since the leaves are) and then enough time (100 years) had to pass for them to develop cuisine around them.
It really depends on the quality of the pineapple to me. Sometimes it is dry and it sucks. Sometimes it is kinda melted, which gives a sweet to the pizza without making the texture weird.
Yup. You can get it in the USA at Asian grocery stores, and even in some American stores located in areas with large Asian populations. And it’s fucking delicious.
Toward the end, when Pardo wasn’t feeling well, Darrell Hammond would fill in and do such a good impression, that it’s almost impossible to tell when it isn’t really Pardo. After Pardo’s death, Hammond took over the announcing duties full time, but uses his own voice. Everyone agreed that he shouldn’t continue the Pardo impression.
They wanted him on SNL because the target audience had grown up hearing his voice. It was supposed to be funny, having someone associated with the blandest shows announcing for the degenerate antics of stoners like Belushi and ignorant sluts like Jane Curtain.
im in the middle of watching all of them, im on season 24. its very interesting watching history happen around the show... knowing what was happening off-stage. there are many awkward scenes, some sad.
my favorite moments are the end scenes. the wrapup.. its the end of the night for all of these actors/musicians/comedians/writers theyre all onstage and some clearly exhausted. this exact group of humans will never be together again, ever... here we get to witness what must be a somewhat personal moment for many of them.
they just fired norm, and colin... man he was just terrible for weekend update.
